[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 309592, member: 1967"] I knew that from frequenting a dog forums website. Another thing to be careful about is sugar free gum. Some artificial sweeteners are toxic to dogs. Gracie (my 2-year-old Shih Tzu) ate about half a bottle of sugar free chewable fiber tablets one morning when I was getting ready for school. When I realized what had happened, I called the emergency vet (my vet's office wasn't open yet) and they told me to call the people poison control number. I was surprised that they would answer questions about animals but they did. They said that the artificial sweetener in the tablets was not the same as the one in chewing gum so she should be okay but to take her to the vet when they opened. She stayed for the day so they could watch her and she was fine except for a couple of loose poops. Dogs can be more trouble than difficult children sometimes. I'm glad that the vet thought things were looking up. Now you have to get your kids to be careful about leaving things out that the dog shouldn't have. I still have to remind my 21 and 24 year old not to leave things within the dog's reach (and she is only 12 inches high . . . you wouldn't think that would be all that hard). ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
